You gotta be kidding me that there is no P&R thread. Finally new episodes beginning January 20th! This makes me happy.

This show really came into its own in the second season. So much better than an Office rip off, or the office for that matter.
|
|
|
great show. ron swanson 4 life.

Hahaha Memories of Now. The description is even better... "tranquil explosions".
|
|
|
I love April the intern too.
Season one is good, but season two is really funny.
|
|
|
Season one is good, but season two is BRILLIANT.
I loved all of it, to be frank.
|
|
|
Ron literally looks like a cartoon character, it weirds me out.
|
|
|
i love how he fights while he sleeps
|
|
|
I'm jealous of him. In real life he's married to the babe who played Karen in Will and Grace.
|
|
|
This show, especially season 2, is so good. Glad it'll be back sorta soon
|
|
|
Nick Offerman, who plays Ron is pretty foxy out of character:

TOTALLY. I love him. But he's got freaky eyes.

Oh my god, you guys have no idea how in love with Andy I am. Anyone who knew my last boyfriend...well...it's pretty apparent what my taste in dudes is like.
johnson makes fun of me for having crushes on all the NBC reject boyfriends. EXCEPT DENNIS DUFFY, YOU KNOB.

Fuck that, The Pager King Rules.
Prenatal? I know what that means. "Pre." Before. "Natal." Ruined.

Just discovered that seasons 1 & 2 are streaming on Netflix.
I love Ron Swanson's "speech of facts" from season 1. "Marlene is a woman. She has worked in government for three decades-- thirty years! It is true... that you have won this award."
|
|
|
holy shit. i need to waste my time with this
|
|
|
|
|
|
Is it weird or bad to say that Amy Poehler is my least favorite character despite being one of my favorite actors? UCB FTW!
|
|
|
I think Mark kinda sucks. He's almost the same as Jim from the Office (smug etc.), which turned me off of the entire show. Again, because the first season felt like office lite (poehler=carrel)
But I think Knope gets more likable and less blundering fool as the show has continued.
|
|
|
I've never heard of this show. but it sounds like it's time to check it out.
|
|
|
Mark isn't supposed to be a likable character. He is basically a tool for the Andy/April/Ann tension, I think. He isn't here nor there, in fact, he's kind of a boring dork.
I'm really glad they made Leslie Knope into a very smart overachiever instead of an ignorant rube like Michael Scott. She is a total dork, but is either psyched about it or terrified of it. She's a decent character, but Tom, Andy, April, and Ron definitely have the best lines. The supporting characters like Donna and Jerry are great, too.
I actually don't really like Ann. I think Rashida Jones always plays the same nice, well-rounded, hot girl. It's possible that I don't like her because I hated the Karen Philipelli character on The Office.
...Or possibly because Ann doesn't want Andy. Blasphemy!
|
|
|
Paul Schneider is among my favorite working actors (see: All the Real Girls, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, Away We Go) but as Mark he's totally wasted in this show, esp. in the second season. Too bad, but luckily everyone else is fucking amazing.
Jean-Ralphio!
|
|
|
Omg Jean-Ralphio. Such a horrible douche wad.
|
|
|
Leslie Knope has the same wide-eyed enthusiasm that Tracy Flick from "Election" had, but she's more likeable. I think the supporting characters are stronger because they have her to play off of. In my opinion, the lead character is rarely the funniest/most interesting character in the best shows. Seinfeld certainly wasn't.
I thought this show sucked in season 1, but now that I'm watching them again on Netflix, I may have changed my view. It's Office-y, but not as much as I originally thought. It's fun to see how quickly Aziz Ansari adapted the Tom Haverford character after the first couple of episodes.
|
|
|
tex kjos is Ron Swanson.
|
|
|
god damn. i love that scene were aziz ansari gets jean-ralphio an interview with ron
|
|
|
|
|
|
Oh, Andy. You're simple but you're fine.
|
|
|
Hate on Office all you want, but Dwight forcing Jim to feed him pizza and beer was pretty phenomenal.
|
|
|
I'm glad NBC's Thursday night line up was able to address your particular fetish.
|
|
|
Is anyone hating on the office? I love that show! I have them on dvd and almost always put an episode on before bed.

So finally I checked this show out. And it is amazing. Burning though it too fast. It feels like the office, but not annoying cause of Carell. And louis ck is funny.

Currently rewatching all episodes on netflix for wii right now.
the Halloween episode is amazing! How have i never seen this?

This is easily the best show in NBC's lineup right now. I couldn't stand the first season for some reason, but after finally getting into it during the second season, I re-watched everything on Netflix and it's been funny from the start. I obviously had the wrong opinion before.
I'm looking forward to finding out what's going to happen with the whole Andy/April thing, and whether Anne's gonna fuck it up.

first season wasn't that great, but man the second season was amaaaaaazing. can't wait for it to be back.

Howie: Rashida Jones or Aubrey Plaza?
|
|
|
Aubrey Plaza dude
|
|
|
Despite being a megababe, I'm not totally attracted to Rashida Jones. I mean, she's beautiful, but I'd rather fantasize about Tammy.
Mmmmmullally.
|
|
|
I don't know if it's the characters Rashida Jones has played or what, but she doesn't really do much for me. She seems nice, though.
Aubrey Plaza forever. Followed by Jama Williamson (Wendy!).
|
|
|
text machine and grant's tomb both of you are correct!
Mullany was a megababe in that show

If this show was so great it wouldn't need Adam Scott and national treasure Rob Lowe to bail it out.
Maya Rudolph > Rashida Jones

bail it out? nah they just gettin thrown into the mix. spicing things up

Whoah. Wikipedia just told me that Maya Rudolph played keyboards in The Rentals!

I never saw the promos above until now. Great stuff. There is something very endearing about April's character. I feel like it has that same feeling that The Office had the beginning and lost over time. The two new episodes have been amazing.
|
|
|
A whole slew of friends went banana's over the RON SWANSON PYRAMID OF GREATNESS and it finally got me to check the show out. Wow, this show is top shelf funny! I had only seen like a random 10 minutes, and dashed it off as a cheap U.S. Office rip-off. I mean IT IS a U.S. Office rip off but it has a cast of great characters and is written really well. If it would lose the Fake Docoumentary camera work it would really stand on its own.
|
|
|
well...it started as a SPIN-OFF of The Office...
|

this show is way above and beyond The Office IMO

As much as I love this show and think it has far surpassed everything else on TV during the last season, I have to concede that The Office was the most hilarious during the past two weeks.
Still, I'm looking forward to more episodes. I love everything that's going on with P&R right now.

NBC really fucked this one up. Wow. I hope someone at NBC got fired for that.

hahaha, totally.
|
|
|
Ron's tooth-pulling almost made me piss myself from laughing so hard at everyone's reactions.
|
|
|
Yeah that was good, and so was Jerry's party shirt.
I don't know where they are going with this....the third season started off soooooooo good. Like I'd say 3 of the episodes from Season 3 are the 3 best episodes in this show's history, but now it's getting pretty boring.
And they jump from one love interest to the next. Not everyone has to bone each other. I mostly just want to see Tom Halveford getting his dick wet, anyway. And Jerry. And Ron Swanson.
|
|
|
John Ralphio is amazing. I still love the show and Thursday on NBC from 8-9:30pm kills the rest of network TV.
|
|
|
I'm glad to see how much all of you like the April character. BECAUSE SHE IS EXACTLY LIKE ME.
|
|
|
swanson pulling out his teeth bit = aces
|
|
|
I do love me some John Ralphio. That was pretty funny last night when Andy asked if Tom was just friends with JR.
|
|
|
|
|
|
abomb, the more I watch the show, the more I think you're right.
The teeth bit had me on the floor and made me cringe. I love it.
Also, this show is going towards the rom-com route but I think they, like the office, have enough funny moments and don't make it too overly serious that it works. That being said, I'm glad the office is switching the cast up to create a bit more intrigue. I don't think this season was all that great and it needed some mixing up.
Amy Poehler and Adam Scott's relationship development on the show has been nice. The moment where she asks him to say was really sweet but they offset it with having that goth kid kinda watching them from a corner creepily.
Also, if this show needs more of something it would be a lot more of Mouse Rat!
|
|
|
See I had to stop watching the office because it got too rom-comy for me. The little bits of the end that my dvr picks up when recording Parks and Rec just confirm that I made the right choice, although last night's with a bit of Will Ferrel did look sort of funny.
That goth kid was great.
|
|
|
Will Farrell was good and the show was good in moments. I think it is one of those shows that I will stick with because I want to see it through but I don't totally love anymore. The rom side of it can be sweet at times but other times it makes me want to jump off the wagon. I feel like P & R could get there if they don't add or subtract a few characters.
|
|
|
The office was really good last night. The shaving bit... hahaha, wow.
|
|
|
Parks and Rec is my new favorite of the Thursday line up.
|
|
|
Good comedies don't need a romantic interest angle to hold up. Not to say that a show can't be good when there are couples involved, but when that's the main angle it really takes away a lot of the attention from the good stuff. I understand that they are on NBC so they have to go this way, but I'm starting to get a little worried.
Best comedies on TV right now:
Archer
Delocated
Always Sunny
Curb Your Enthusiasm
The League
Louie
None of these shows focus too much on a relationship or trying to pair up characters that aren't already paired up when the show starts.
|
|
|
The shaving bit was so painful to watch. I couldn't stop cringing as she was shaving sideways across his face.
P&R has been better than 30 Rock in moments for the last two years and waaay better than the Office. I go back and forth with P&R winning and stoked they are picked up for another season. The show definitely needs to try to have more Haverford moments.
|
|
|
"Stop talking, I have to do your lips."
I lost it.
|
|
|
I would watch a show that was just Haverford, Swanson, and Jerry.
|
|
|
kobby,
I would watch that show too but one thing about all of the comedies you listed (and I like) are that they are on cable. They have a bit more leverage to say and do things that you can't do on network TV. I guess I am comparing the Thursday NBC shows to anything else on network TV. I haven't watched Bob's Burgers and Simpsons has been really hit or miss for almost 10 years but outside of that, network TV comedy is garbage.
|
|
|
True, I mean I feel like NBC requires them to have these romantic interest angles, maybe if they don't say it expressly, it's still probably obvious to the creators/writers/producers that they need to include this stuff to keep the show running.
I highly recommend Bob's Burgers. It has an all star cast and for a network show they seem to get away with a lot. It has some potential to be a lot better than it is, and I have faith. They got picked up for a 2nd season recently.
|
|
|
It took a few episodes to convince me, but Bob's Burgers has grown on me a lot.
|
|
|
I shudder to fucking think what The Office would be without its relationship plots.
Though its crassness far exceeds King of the Hill, I am enjoying Bob's Burgers for the humorous, recognizable, and essentially gentle familial interplay.
|
|
|
Bob's burgers took me about 5 episodes to finally like. All the kids were SO fucking unlikeable at first that even Kristen Schaal's magic couldn't save them. But now I feel like they're finally showing how they gel as a family unit, and it's making it work as a series for me - as well as making the jokes way funnier because I actually don't hate all the characters except for bob.
|
|
|
I think Community is the best on NBC right now with Parks right behind.
I attribute this to Alison Brie and some clever writing.
|
|
|
a girl i'm.. dating? loves this show - we watched a few episodes and i got in trouble when i commented on how much i love rasheda jones
|
|
|
My love for Community (and Alison Brie) is well documented on this board, but P&R was funnier last night.
I've only seen one ep of Bob's Burgers, but I liked it. Will def watch it again.
Still haven't watched Louie. I hated the show he had on HBO, so I haven't given it a shot yet.
Top 10:
1.)Community
2.)Parks and Rec
3.)It's Always Sunny...
4.)Eastbound and Down
5.)Bored to Death
6.)Modern Family
7.)Curb Your Enthusiasm
8.)Children's Hospital
9.)Delocated
10.)Archer
Shit... no room for 30 Rock, Office, The League....
Murder's Row of sitcoms. We are in a Golden Age for comedy on TV, y'all!
|
|
|
Yeah I should have added Eastbound and Down to my list. I couldn't get in to Community, maybe I should give it another shot. Bored To Death and Children's Hospital as well as Eagleheart are shows I've heard are very good but I haven't watched yet.
|
|
|
I didn't see P&R last night but I got a text from a friend who said Leslie Knope had a very jess-moment.
what the heck?
|
|
|
Andy making himself mad during the ceremony was a great touch.
|
|
|
Thank you VS. That moment was incredible.
Stinkfinger, totally agree and the funny thing is that only Community and P&R are non-cable. Network TV is dull but get in to cable and it's full of some amazing shows. I watched the league last week and loved it. I need to find a place to stream episodes online.

Yeah, this me killed me too.
I heard on a comedy podcast with Adam Scott that the season arch got kind of screwy because everyone thought the season finale would be the harvest festival, but when that climaxed at like the 5th episode they had to come up with apparently this wedding bull shit that just sort of happened.
|
|
|
I liked how they hooked April and Andy up without the insufferably long, "will they or won't they" bullshit followed up by the endless wedding planning story arc that bogs down so many other sitcoms.
|
|
|
^troof bomb written above.
i am so glad i watch this on hulu. it was a total surprise. loved it. oren was the best.
|
|
|
It seems like that sort pattern of the Fallin in love stuff is happening w/ the other two characters though. April and dood from party down.
|
|
|
Every episode can be viewed through a "here's how you probably meant to do it, The Office" lens. And rightly so.
|
|
|
There was an insufferably long "will they or won't they" with April and Andy. It lasted all the way from the end of the 2nd season until several episodes into the 3rd season. This angle made the end of season 2 suck.
|
|
|
wrong.
|
|
|
No, I'm definitely right. I've done extensive focus grouping on it. I don't mean the whole "will they won't they" at the end of season 2, I'm just talking about how they "won't they" because of Ann kissing Andy. Then they get some more mileage out of the "will they won't they" to start season 3.
It's ALWAYS "will they", in the end.

Nick Offerman was on a show called american body shop on comedy central that ran for ten episodes. He was a mad scientist/mythbusters looking mechanic. It was reasonably good and seemed to be finding its stride when it got axed.

|
|
|
Doing my prep cooking for the week and watching season 2 on Netflix. Sometimes it;s pretty funny. I think I hate Aziz Ansari. A lot.
|
|
|
How does it feel to feel?
|
|
|
WHAT SWAGS NOOOO U CAN'T HATE MY BOYFRIEND
Tom Haverford is a douche, though. a hilarious douche
|
|
|
He does my favorite reaction shots.
|
|
|
Chris Pratt slamming the bag of garbage into Ansari was one of the best moments so far this year, for my money.
|
|
|
Garbage fight!
|
|
|
FINALLY.
|
|
|
I KNOW! Loved the hour of Parks and Rec. I give this show one more season of being good before it jumps the shark. The Office wasn't too bad tonight.
|
|
|
The build up was thrilling and oh-so endearing. I loved both of the episodes tonight... and I may or may not have gotten slightly choked up when Ann and Leslie were making up.
It looks as though the Office could actually stand to get good again, what with the additions of the new cast members.
|
|
|
agreed on the Office. They needed a major plot vehicle to get out of the rut they had started to really sink in to. Kathy Bates didn't add much but I think a whole new boss could be good. I know it won't happen but I wish it was Will Arnett.
The last P&R where Leslie sets up Ron the special night for his b-day and he remembers why he hired her got me a little misty. Both the Office and P&R have a nice belend of wistfulness and hilarity. I also love the rapport between Andy and April especially in the snakehole episode with the character thing. Also, snakejuice=amazing plot vehicle!
|
|
|
Everybody wasted on snakejuice plus Jerry strapped to the top of the Mercedes was brilliant.
I never thought I'd buy Ron Swanson as a shill, but snakejuice is snakejuice.
|
|
|
I got a little choked up when April sang 'The Pit' for Andy.
Plus...the return of Janet Snakehole and Burt Macklin FBI.
Aaaaand Ben and Leslie are totally perfect for each other. Lovin it.
|
|
|
...to be fair, cop cries when she does long division and has a remainder left over.
|
|
|
Or when mean jerks make fun of me. Oh great, I'm crying again.
|
|
|
Great, now we have to wait until you guys kiss.
WINK
|
|
|
I waited until today to watch these and it was killin' me!
Jean-Ralphio's best episode ever!
"BIG BEN clock"
"Turn that frizzown upside-dizzety"
His tone of voice saying "lot riding on this"
The move he busts after "Jean-Ralphio, dance up on me"
His facial expression when Donna says "snitches get stitches," a mixture of fear and attraction
So good.
|
|
|
Ron dancing with the tiny hat = I lost it
|
|
|
"snork juice."
|
|
|
Clone watches teevee?!
|
|
|
Rest assured, the comedy that I will set aside time for is a rare comedy indeed.
And yes, I actually do think this show is "funny."

This episode is killing me. I love this show.
|
|
|
WHO IS TAMMY 1?!?!
|
|
|
God I love this show. I think it's my favorite thing on television, maybe ever.
Ron losing his shit over Li'l Sebastian, Andy's song, the fourth floor...fuck, the word "LOGAM" written on Chris's white board (I have been obsessed with logam for a while now).
Who IS Tammy 1? Scared Tammy 2...this can't be good.
Ben and Leslie and April and Andy and even Chris realizing he needs someone...making me all boyfriend wanty.
This show is so good!
|
|
|
Ron Swanson post-fireball was incredible.
|
|
|
the word "LOGAM" written on Chris's white board (I have been obsessed with logam for a while now).
What does that mean?; I don't get the funny.
|
|
|
It's a Swedish saying. It means that no one has too much and no one has too little. That's funny considering Ron's political view. Funny to me personally because some totally random Swedish mantra that I've picked up is on network television.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Weird. When I looked it up on wiki a while ago it explained to me that is is Indonesian for 'metal'.
|
|
|
the last 2 weeks were some of the best this season. It started out really great, then started losing me, but the ending put it back on track. all in all a better end than the season 2 ending, and they definitely set themselves up well for next season.
I love the Detlef Schrempf cameos. I'm assuming Entertainment 720 will be in the show still. John Ralphio is the shit
|
|
|
"Whatever floats your penis"
I love this show so much.
|
|
|
I loved the breakdown of the different shades of black and the constant Jerry bashing. This show may have become my favorite for Thursday's with 30 Rock and The Office following as the only other network comedies I'll watch. I'm glad they are all on the same night and even happier than NBC streams it online if you miss an episode.
|
|
|
Jerry is the best. When they were leaving the Snakehole on last week's episode and he was strapped to the roof? Oh man! I lost my shit.
I always like it when Leslie steps in to keep Ron from having to do any work. "Someone's coming, swivel around!"
|
|
|
Dana Gould smashing the coffee pot on the wall of the fourth floor office might have been my favorite part.
|
|
|
Oh, and "Your eyes are about to piss tears"

I didn't even realize that when I saw it. I definitely saw the taco, but I had pretty much forgotten about the blog.

|
Chris Pratt is in a doofy comedy called "Deep In The Valley" and he essentially plays an "Andy-type"
P&R & Community are the only shows I really geek out on lately.
"I hope you brought a change of clothes 'cuz your eyes are gonna piss tears!!"
|
|
|
Chris Pratt was also on the last season of the O.C.
|
|

I LOVE him.

There's an extended version of the Swanson pyramid on nbc.com in which Ron says "bullshit."

I like Ron Swanson in Children's Hospital.
|

My sister met Ron Swanson at her hotel in LA. *le sigh*
|
|
|
Season premiere right now.
|
|
|
i had no idea!
|
|
|
Indeed. The paper called office out as new but not this. I got the recorder set just in time so Mrs. Low and I can peep this after Lil' is in bed.
|
|
|
oh cool. almost forgot about this show.
|
|
|
Who could have guessed that Jerry has the largest penis people have ever seen?
|
|
|
Wow, that kinda sucked, I thought.
|
|
|
YOU KINDA SUCKED, I THOUGHT.
|
|
|
mr tears said "april looks too skinny!"
|
|
|
Too well groomed, for sure.
|
|
|
i didn't really laugh at this episode. yes, april got 2 skinny.
|
|
|
yeah, i love this show, but i didn't really laugh either.
|
|
|
Exposition-heavy episodes usually have a separate sub-plot to supply the laughs. This episode relied on the show's weakest character for that sub-plot.
Shake it off, kids. Season just started.
|
|
|
you shake it off.
|
|
|
I'm not a damn wizard.
|
|
|
It was an aight episode. And eer since I heard the WTF interview with Aubrey Plaza. The sight of her bores me to death
|
|
|
The only interview I've witnessed was on Conan and she seemed either drunk or autistic.
|
|
|
if she wanted me to think she was cute, she didn't have to get so skinny.
|
|
|
And that awful new haircut
|
|
|
you shake it off.
|
|
|
Like a Polaroid picture
|
|
|
howie - i know!
|
|
|
They might as well be talking about April.
The A.V. Club: In various interviews by you, Glenn, and Charlie, you’ve said that you decided to gain the weight because you noticed that people in other sitcoms were getting thinner and better-looking. What examples have you seen of that?
Rob McElhenney: I think you turn on any television show, specifically in the last like five or six years—even the Friends were getting better-looking as the years were going by. The Big Bang Theory was another one. I was watching that show and I was noticing that the nerds were getting better-looking; their clothes were getting nicer. They looked more handsome. I just couldn’t understand that decision. I understand it as an actor, which is, you want to be able to jump off that show and be able to go work on other things. But to me, if you’re dedicated to what you’re doing in the moment, right now, it just doesn’t make any sense that you would be more attractive as the years go by. If anything, when you’re in your late 20s, early 30s, and then mid-30s, you’re getting less attractive
AVC: It always seems like the women get thinner as the years go on, too.
RM: Of course! And then the plastic surgery kicks in, and then you have a new stylist so your clothes look better, and then you have the most expensive guy in Beverly Hills doing your hair so your highlights look nicer. Look, ultimately, I understand it from a business perspective. There are certain elements of the entertainment industry, specifically movies and television, [where] it’s about glamour. Our show has always been the opposite of that. So I think it works for some shows. It just doesn’t work for us, as far as I was concerned.

|
You guys are weird

April was already scrawny enough..

Ron's tooth-pulling almost made me piss myself from laughing so hard at everyone's reactions.
i just lost my shit to this
|
|
|
On the bad side of the "Bad Pawnee, Good Pawnee" mural, there is a man tied to a tree with a cannon pointed at him and also a man punching a woman in the gut.
|
|
|
Hahaha, nice j low. That mural- like all Pawnee city hall murals- is incredible.
I loved last night's episode sooooooooo much. I totes cried.
|
|
|
Picked up Season1 on Blark Friday. 2-3 are way better, but who can argue with $8.
|
|
|
|
|
|
We've been watching a bunch of these all day and I still think this is the best sitcom since Arrested Development.
|
|
|
|
|
|
hahaha, WHOOPS!
|
|
|
|
|
|
whoops indeed. I trust you have all seen the drunk ron swanson website by now, so I won't post a link.
|
|
|
Yeah I love that. Someone posted it in the "Things that are so cute" thread.
|
|
|
i love Ron so much.
|
|
|
agreed!
|
|
|
this show is not that funny anymore to me. the office has been way funnier this season and that strikes me as odd.
|
|
|
Both shows have been in a rut this season, I think. I'm very very tired of Ben & Leslie as well as Entertainment 720. Same jokes over and over again. Cliched romantic will-they-or-won't-they storyline is boring. Same goes for Andy and Erin on The Office. April and what's his face are insufferably smug too.
Still awesome though: Ron Swanson. Creed. Darrell. Robert California has been a nice addition too.
|
|
|
last weeks episode of parks and rec was the first really good one this season.
|
|
|
And I want to LITERALLY kick Rob Lowe in the balls. Your catchphrase has grown tiresome my friend.
|
|
|
as well as Entertainment 720.
You should catch up to the current episode, entertainment 720 is out of business!
I agree that this season has been in a bit of a rut so far this year, but definitely still watchable. Hasn't lost me like the office did.
|
|
|
Robert California is literally amazing. The end of last week's episode with Ryan and Gabe was how I imagine my career (non)progression.
|
|
|
The Office has been good-to-great this year. Parks & Recreation is still funny to me, though I am pretty tired of Andy's physical comedy antics.
Someone start a petition to bring back Aubrey Plaza's bangs.
|
|
|
not enough Tom this season.
|
|
|
Donna steals every scene she's in.
|
|
|
i;'m glad i'm a bit behind, cuz I can def see getting burnt out on the recusrring themes.
|

Donna steals every scene she's in.
Hells to the yes. She's awesome.
They have written Andy to be dumber and dumber and much more on the lame-tip with each passing episode. Unfunny. It's a shame because he was, for a brief shining moment, really likable and funny.
The Office still sucks.
|
|
|
If we're talking ruts, nothing compares to the rut community was in before it was put on hiatus. Most of the episodes this last season we're awful, the few that we're great we're using tropes they've used a bunch before (board game time line etc.)
|
|
|
YES, I agree about the Office, hertz. SOOOO lame, esp. compared to the OG.
|
|
|
Community's never been better IMO
|
|
|
I haven't been caught up on any of these shows this year beyond the first couple Office episodes
|
|
|
wait what
|
|
|
"never been better" is a colloquialism soapy
|
|
|
i never got why people liked community.that indian dude was beyond annoying.
|
|
|
also it helped launch that childish gambino non sense. CRITICAL HIT
|
|
|
haha that would have been clever.
I blasted through the series this fall and it was the best three weeks I've had in a while
|
|
|
That's as clever as something Shane's father would say.
I got a kick out of it and am going to pretend that's what you meant, anyway.
|
|
|
Yay so happy other people dislike community!
|
|
|
you guys are sad
|
|
|
When a show gets canceled, it's a safe bet other people dislike it, too. Well, "put on hiatus".
|
|
|
you guys like the office
|
|
|
Oh, and I'm one of the dyed-in-the-wool Community lovers. For a while, it was the best comedy on TV. That while would be whenever Archer wasn't airing in the same week.
|
|
|
I did watch a few episodes when it first aired, and I liked it just fine, but not enough to get me to watch more than a few episodes. It sounds like it had a pretty good run for a while but then got bad.
If the Office is still on the air, any show not good enough to keep having new episodes must not be that good.
|
|
|
it ain't dead motherfuckers they're still at least finishing out the season.
definitely has not "gotten bad"
|
|
|
Agred, Shane. Didn't get bad.
|
|
|
and are you serious, Uncle Jam? (fun sentence to type)
popularity = quality?
|
|
|
It's true! Nickelback has dwarfed Jimi Hendrix's sales.
|
|
|
No, I wasn't serious. I just wanted to rub it in that the Office is still on the air and Community isn't and probably never will be again.
That's all.
|
|
|
gasp
diiiiiick
|
|
|
community's ONLY and i do mean ONLY redeeming quality or qualities i should say is Alison Brie's b-b-b-b-ooobs!
|
|
|
Also, the monkey.

Season 3 is on netflix now. I'm watchin'
|
|
|
people, people. the NBC comedy hierarchy is this:
1) parks and rec
2) community
3) 30 rock
54) up all night
4,424) the office
8,251) whitney
just accept it.
|
|
|
Up all night is actually #2, FYI.
|
|

just watched up all night and it's not that bad! better than community

Office haterz have not watched the Office in five years.
|
|
|
I stopped watching sometime during season 5. Are they on season 11 now?
|
|
|
Community is my current favorite, but that's probably because i burned through all three seasons in a month, with no commercials.
I think Parks is still great but I agree that Andy is becoming too dumb.... kind of reminds me of what they turned Homer Simpson into around the time i stopped watching that show.
The Office is WAY better than it should be, but it's well past its prime. Still, a good show that i never regret watching.
I'm Mr. Positivity over here
|
|
|
i re-attempt to come back to the office about four times a year. the only remotely interesting/funny characters are creed, toby, and ryan, and they all are fringe characters. everyone being nervous or ambivalent isn't funny; it's redundant and depressing.
|
|
|
Wrong. It's funny.
|
|
|
If you can't see that Kevin is the funniest character on the Office, you're watching it wrong.
|
|
|
Just like I'm pretty sure Keith was the funniest on the original. Laughs per seconds on screen is higher than for anyone else.
|
|
|
Kelly is my favorite character, I wish she was on more these days.
|
|
|
Many a fleeting Ryan/Kelly moment have redeemed entire episodes for me.
|
|
|
i do think that one girl from the Office is incredibly, amazingly cute.
|
|
|
Me too. I like her glower power, plus she's stacked.
|
|
|
her? really?
|
|
|
I meant Ellie Kemper, I dunno anyone else. Stacked, tho? Tell me more!
|
|
|
haha that's who I guessed you meant. I agree. qtpie, almost worth watching the office for.
almost.
|
|
|
my god she's totally gorgeous.

Oh god do I wish that was the case. I've kept up until this season, I stopped a couple weeks in.
Ryan is great, though.

All I can says is ROBERT CALIFORNIA.
|
|
|
Good episode last night. This was the best part
IMAGE REMOVED - CLICK TO VIEW
The show is a little down this season but man Ron Swanson, Tom, Donna, and Jerry just can't be stopped.
Was nice to see Mike from Delocated getting into it. Even if he got his clock cleaned by a little wussy man.
|
|
|
good one last nite
|
|
|
|
|
|
Son, people can SEE YOU
|
|
|
Mrs. Low fucked up the DVR last night. Grrrr.
|
|
|
divorce?
|
|
|
aw man, Ron was killin it last night!!! He looks so blazed in the pic Jam posted above.
The credit sequence was amazing, especially on the one toss where he let out a little elated, manly grunt, "Hyaaahhh!".
"I wasn't here; you never saw this."
|
|
|
Yeah that was great! I love Ron being happy about anything. His "smile" is hilarious
|
|
|
On Demand to the rescue, although the fucking bastards don't let you fast-forward the commercials.
|
|
|
Cuz that would be..... piracy?
|
|
|
Both community and 30 annoy me for the same reasons. Two washed up guys (baldwin, chase) desperately trying to be funny. Tina fey is horrible in 30 rock too and Tracy Morgan has NEVER been funny
The pool party episode of the office was surprisingly good. I actually think Robert California's character is a bit of a reach. Couple laughs here and there.
Parks and Rec is still solid as ever.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Who's the skirt in that gif? Hubba hubba.

Louis CK returns to the show tonight!
|
|
|
His character is my favorite thing he's done I think
|
|
|
Well that's weird. But he is pretty good on this show. Was just watching an episode from season 3 on netflix yesterday, the one where Ron and Tammy get back together briefly (I still think that's the best episode of this show so far), and the Police Chief brought Louis' character up to Ben and said Leslie made Louis happy so that's why he's willing to do favors for her. Saw a picture that has Leslie, Ben, and Louis at a table eating dinner. Gonna get awkward!
|
|
|
I don't think there's anything weird about finding Louis CK as a cop to be funnier than most things
|
|
|
Louis's cop-talk is pretty spot-on.
|
|
|
He's just so endearing in that role.
|
|
|
I don't remember him having that much of an accent last time...
Duke!
|
|
|
yeah ok he was better than I remembered in that role. awkwaaaaaaaaaaaaard
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Oh god...here it comes...9/11.
|
|
|
last nite's episode was cool
|
|
|
More love for Allison Brie.
|

|

Was happy to see Duke Silver making an appearance this week.

|
Hating Tom and Ann
|
|
|
They are kinda funny together, but that's just because Tom is funny. #1 complaint about the show, any time they do a romantic involvement, it stretches out for at least half the season and it's just will they/won't they back and forth. I guess you could say that about a lot of sitcoms. I think. I don't watch too many.
|
|
|
Hating Tom and Ann.
Fuck Tom and Ann. DUMB.
|
|
|
They've been kind of at a loss as to what to do with Ann for the last couple seasons.
|
|
|
Yeah, because there's nothing you can do with characters other than have them hook up.
|
|
|
But she's so pretty
|
|
|
She's been looking a bit rough in the last few episodes.
|
|
|
Tom's not treating her right.
|
|
|
Must be those cotton t-shirt sheets she's using. Or whatever she said. Soapy Kittens holds the correct opinion.
She has dated 4 main characters on the show. 1 per season. Who is next season? Ron, Jerry, or Ben?
|
|
|
My enjoyment of this show is on its way back to the beginning, which is bad. "Evil April" is more stupid than the idea of Tom and anneperkins.
|
|
|
goatee universe April
|
|
|
Amy Poehler and Adam Scott and Jane Lynch are shooting a movie in a restaurant in downtown Decatur that we've been by a few times but no sightings.
|
|
|
They've been kind of at a loss as to what to do with Ann for the last couple seasons. Well put! Her character just seems out of place and it does seem like they'll just bring in a new main character for her to hook up with. The thing with her and Tom couldn't make any less sense.
|
|
|
She has dated 4 main characters on the show. 1 per season. Who is next season? Ron, Jerry, or Ben?
Ugh yeah, the tried to build up the sexualtendion between Anne and Ron for an episode... I'm so glad that didn't go far.
|
|
|
So this show continues to entertain IMO. catching up on some of the newer stuff.
|
|
|
I hate to say it but I don't think this season has been very funny. Maybe it's because I hate things less now and I no longer overidentify constantly with April.
|
|
|
But so does she!!!
But yeah, it's not so hot lately.
|
|
|
It's still hilarious, but i agree with yousns.
It continues to be the funniest thing on network TV though.
|
|
|
|
|
|
WHAT FUCK
|
|
|
They'll have all had their runs. Bring on the new.
|
|
|
I'm sure Matthew Perry or Anne Heche shows will be just as good
|
|
|
not
|
|
|
And yet the Office lives on.
|
|
|
WHAAAAAT
|
|
|
I wonder who owns the rights. Can ABC or whoever swoop in any pick them up?
|
|
|
This kinda sucks, but the show ran out of steam in a big way this season, not sure where they would go from here, plus they are almost out of male characters for Ann to date.
|
|
|
The writers of 30 Rock and Community clearly have been taking this into account in their storylines.
Parks and Rec is surprising.
That's 3 of the 5 sitcoms I watch.
|
|
|
We heard you the first time.
|
|
|
Parks & Rec was indeed pooped out. They lost me during this election thing. Boring.
30 Rock continues to rip my head apart, though. I hope they go out in an insane ball of fire.
|
|
|
Community seems likely to go full-on mind-fuck weird with cancellation looming.
|
|
|
Half seasons of each of those shows is better than I expected, tho'.
Hopefully it'll give 'em a chance to go out on a high note instead of being ignominiously cancelled with all the story lines still left open.
Glass half full, y'all!
|
|
|
opposingviews.com
A fourth season for Community however abbreviated is a success
|
|
|
stinkfinger's point is well taken. I'm much more at peace getting a chance to say goodbye.
|
|
|
Enjoy your source-ocracy, sheeple. These shows represent 100% of my TV watching since Archer stopped airing. Booooooo, NBC.
|
|
|
We're not quite there, but that is 3 of the 4 shows we watch on network TV (if you count Fox).
|
|
|
I guess me too, if you don't count How I Met Your Mother, which I only watch in cable TV reruns.
|
|
|
good point.
for as often as i watch himym, i've NEVER seen an new episode air on cbs.
|
|
|
or abc or whatever it's on
|
|
|
ohnoooo

Who has ever heard of this website? Sounds like the P+R announcement is premature, not seeing this anywhere else online that doesn't quote this website, and none of those sources are websites I've ever heard of either.
The only one I have seen confirmed by a reputable source is 30 rock.
|
|
|
What, you guys don't think Perez Hilton is reliable?
|
|
|
yeah no news yet for p&r or community. i agree it's not quite as mindblowingly hilarious as last season, but i'm still having a great time watching it. i thought the debate ep was near perfect. buddy garrity!

NBC confirmed the Community renewal tonite calling it a shortened "fourth" season, not a "final" season like they gave to 30 Rock, so there's still hope for it to continue on after next year, providing the new shows this fall tank... which is entirely likely since it's NBC.
Still no confirmation on P&R, tho.
|
|
|
interesting... i think there was a 4-5 episode run this season that was among the best of the shows history personally.
the finale tonight was kind of weak tho
|
|
|
I would say if all three of those shows get renewed for shortened seasons next year - its their last - for sure. They don't perform well, its that simple. Maybe a cable network would pick them up, but none of the other major networks would dare touch them.
|
|
|
Good work, team.
|
|
|
I think 30 Rock is about done anyway, but Parks & Rec has a lot of room to grow. I'd think networks might be interested in part just with the cast, but what do I know. Networks rarely buy each other's shows. I don't watch much tv, but the last example I can think of is The Critic in like 1991.
|
|
|
Happened with Scrubs.
|
|
|
Yeah but ABC already had a stake in Scrubs.
|
|
|
Got renewed for 22 episodes, a full season!
|
|
|
Take that, opposingviews!
|
|
|
PHEW thank you Uncle Jam you have restored my faith in network television.
This article says Paul Lieberstein, Mindy Kaling, and James Spader are all leaving The Office next season. Lieberstein is working on a spinoff. Weird!
Anyway, more Parks & Rec - yay!
|
|
|
It's one according-to-nobody story after another.
|
|
|
i'm ok with Mindy leaving... her character has been shit lately. take Ryan with her too.
|
|
|
noooooooooooo Ryan is the only good character left on that show
Tho I haven't watched in like 15 weeks
|
|
|
Oh now, why did I open this thread about the office?!?!
Oh, that's right. I didn't.
F u guys.
|
|
|
Why did I open this thread about Kobby's feelings?
|
|
|
Ryan's character has just annoyed me mostly this season.
Erin's however has been killing it (last episode aside)
and Kobby, F U too!
|
|
|
i agree with shane about ryan. only reason i still tune in occasionally. and creed.
yay for parks & rec and community and happy endings and 30 rock. i'll prolly watch up all night again too, even though i like it just a little bit more than i like the office.
|
|
|
I record Up All Night so I don't miss the end of whatever show is on before it. Can't believe I'd be so meh on a Maya Rudolph...anything.
|
|
|
Creed is the best character from The Office. Period.
|
|
|
Although yes, The Office needs to stop now. Never thought I'd hate Ed Helms so much but he is incredibly annoying and smug these days.
|
|
|
Yes... Very cool that Happy Endings got a full season order, too.
|
|
|
Tonite's 1st ep (of 3! Yay!) of Community was bonkers!
I'm even more amazed that NBC renewed it for next year after seeing it.
8-Bit Zelda style graphic adventure version of the show for nearly the entire run time?
Sure, that'll get plenty of new viewers to the show.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Whoa, I didn't know they were married in real life! Cool! I'm gonna go tell everyone I know.
|
|
|
stinkfinger, they renewed it but fired the showrunner and replaced him with new guys that are going to attempt to "broaden the appeal" of the show. barf me rotten.
|
|
|
Yeah... I saw that. Hopefully they'll shoot it live and add a laugh track.
|
|
|
Hell of a season opener, Ron driving off with a smoking bbq hitched to the back of his car was the best! Top 5 moment of the show all time I'd say. Maybe even top 3.
|
|
|
I was a little 'meh' on last night's episode which I'm kinda bummed out about cuz I love Parks & Rec. Hopefully it'll get better. I have hope.
|
|
|
Good episode
|
|
|
And there will be NO FUCKING VEGETABLES.
|
|
|
STILL ON?!?!?!?!
|
|
|
”Corn?”
”..................NO.”
and that bit about Hot Rebecca were great.
|
|
|
Can't believe you people still have the patience to sit through an episode of tv
Unless you save all your laundry for Thursday nights
|
|
|
it's like i'm a women from the 60's!
|
|
|
Record. Watch later. Skip commercials.
|
|
|
Episode not that good! :( Something was weird and rushed with Ron's character.
CREEPED ME OUT MAN.
|
|
|
Dude, same here. It was like a Swanson caricature.
This episode felt more like an episode of The Office.
|
|
|
Disappointing. :(
|
|
|
I wonder if watching more naturalistic things like Louie is affecting my ability to enjoy more traditional scripted sitcoms.
|
|
|
I'd consider the faux documentary style shows as a middle ground between things like Louie and "traditional" sitcoms like How I Met Your Mother.
|
|
|
That's a good distinction.
|
|
|
this episode was kinda meh. agree with the ron stuff.
steph and i still laugh at the office, even though it's supposed to so horrible now, much more than P & R.
more tom. more donna. more jerry.
|
|
|
Definitely more donna and more jerry. They would do well to get rid of Ann, Leslie, and Ben. I'm still cool with April and Andy.
|
|
|
another problem for sitcoms in general is when they leave the familiar settings and go outside and shit; usually throws the vibe off in an inexplicable way, and this episode seemed to suffer from that too.
|
|
|
that one P&R where they're hunting in the woods is awesome.
|
|
|
|
|
|
^ yr on point, pit
(see what I did there? TCQ!)
|
|
|
The hunting trip was P&R's "growing the beard" episode, in my opinion.
|
|
|
This was like a Ron caricature. Still laughed.
|
|
|
Nick Offerman has a caricature for a face
|
|
|
hahhahahahaha
true
|
|
|
This episode was not so good, Chris and Andy aside.
|
|
|
Still like the show
|
|
|
i thought the ultimate frisbee bit was pretty awesome at least
|
|
|
After not enjoying the season premiere I thought I would stop in to this thread because I found this week's episode top-notch. All three plots scored.
Take the easy way out, it's what I always do - it's so easy!
|
|
|
This week's sucked and the season premiere was great! Weird!
At least Jon Glaser is on this show now, and hopefully permanently
|
|
|
Not to sully the thread, but Office has been really good so far this season.
|
|
|
If by really good you mean marginally adequate I'll buy it.
|
|
|
Giving Catherine Tate an ally in Pam is most welcome.
|
|
|
Lucy Lawless is a perfect lady for Ron! And Andy playing with those little girls just made me love him more. I love The Office and Parks and Rec no matter what they do.,
Asian Jim was awesome.
|
|
|
I enjoyed that bit as well.
|
|
|
I see 3 different labels on my web browser window confirming this thread is called "Parks & Recreation"

Thank you.

There's a party in my pants and no one is invited.
|
|
|
hey, did you guys know that there is a book called Pawnee: The Greatest City in America written by the staff of the show? I bought it, and it is super funny!
|
|
|
Can you make sure my library gets that?
|
|
|
NOT AVAILABLE IN LIBRARIES!
